she was instrumental in helping us set out and rent out -- and went on a number of patrols with us to let us see what was going on in the neighborhood, what we should be looking for. the one thing on all those patrols was that on every single block at almost every single moment, people would be walking up to jane and taking a few moments to chat with her. there are very few people in any community that everyone seems to have a strong personal connection to. i saw homeless people chatting with her on a first day basis, treating her with respect as she treated them with respect -- chatting with her on a first- name basis. i saw that from business people, from supervisors. anyone who seemed to come into the castro knew were on a personal basis. any person chosen to name areas and locations after -- i think that is typically for a lot of people to look at their life and experiences and encourage people to live up to it that standard or try to exceed that standard. harvey milk is recognized on the west side of that area. 17th is on the opposite side. i think it would be very fitting to see

and here is the conversation between the three of us. first of all, thank you and congratulations for what you have done here. this is a remarkable collaboration. the art institute of chicago here and the museum of modern art. how did it come about, john? >> well, it started five years ago when i visited chicago and found that stephanie working with her colleagues at chicago were doing work on their great matisse "bathers by a river." and the picture which had been begun in 1907, l/1909 and completed in 1917, the aim was to find out how that picture has developed over the years. and really it was an outcome of that that we moved to examination of other paintings by matisse done in the latter part of that period. and really from that the idea came of doing an exhibition. it wasn't first and foremost an exhibition project, it was kind of an investigation project. >> rose: why do you call it "radical invention"? >> well, i think that "bathers by a river" is a good example of this period. it's a period when matisse really seemed to have very
